GOOD THUNDER'S CELEBRATION

Our neighboring village of Good Thun-
der, are making preparations for sue
cessful celebration the 4th of July. AS
an impression has gotten abroad that the
advertisement of the presence of the
original Indian chief Good Thunder"
is only burlesque, the following letters
are published to show that the Good
Thunder people are acting in good faith,
and that the old chief will if able be
present. The first is letter from Good
Thunder himself, as follows:
BIRCH COOLEY, Mimi,
May %, 'S7. !
MINI:
GENTs-Chief Good Thunder, who re-
sides here. has seen an item in a Red
wood Falls paper stating that himself
and wife would be invited to participate
in the Fourth of July celebration at your
town. The item was given the Redwood
Falls paper by a citizen of your town,
who happened to be there on business.
He is anxious now to hear if it is true,
and if you want him to come. He is get
ting along in years, and is very much
gratified by public attention. If he goes
he will expect your citizens to pay his
railway fare and necessary expenses for
the trip.
Respectfully,
COOP THUNDER,
per S. ID. Human.
The following letter from Bishop
Whipple is also of interest:
FARIBAULT, Mimi,
June 10, 1887.
Postmaster Good Thnnder Blue Earth county, Mime
sofa:
DEAR SIR:-I have just heard that some
one had informed your people that the
"Good Thunder" Wah-keaw-washte
who saved so many white women and
children in 1862, was dead. / have
known him for 81 years. He is living near
Birch Cooley, and is the same excellent
friend of the whites he always has been,
and should be sorry to hear your peo.
pie led into error about a man who is a
Christian hero, and deserves the gratitude
of all who respect honor and brdrery and
truth.

Treasury Officers Satisfed With she First Days Offerings Under the
 Late Call.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The result of the
 circular issued to-day by the treasury offer
 ing to buy four and half and four per cent.
 bonds at 1884 and 125 respectively was
 awaited with apprehension by the depart
 ment. Throughout the day proposals to sell
 came in at intervals, but they were for small amounts and it was with evident disappoint- ment that the announcement was made short ly after o'clock that the aggregate of the offers at the prices fixed was but $674, 700. That the proposition to purchase the four per cent. bonds at 125 was not generally re- garded as an inducement was inferred from the small offering, $4s0, 900, of these bonds. But it appears that the temper of the sellers had been miscalculated, for later in the day and after the first announcement additional tenders were received to the amount of &, ,s2O, 900, of which $500, 900 were four and a half and s2, ,52O, 900 four per cent. bonds. This raised the total of the days purchases to $3, ,494, TOO. Taking into consideration the fact that the circular was issued today and that the public had not fairly had time to become acquainted with it's terms, the financial officers of the treasury are pleased with the result It was deemed best not to make public the names of the persons and firms who sold the bonds, and it is probable that this informa- ton will not be furnished hereafter. Dur- ing the day many telegrams were received at the department asking whether bonds can be offered to the assistant treasurer at New York and be paid for as provided in the cir- cular. This afternoon Acting Secretary Thompson authorized the statement that the offers must be made to the treasury at Wash ington and the assistant treasurer will pay for the bonds purchased.
 Applications for prepayment of interest on registered bonds were received at the treas ury to day on bonds amounting to $25, ,000, making the total to date S95, ,5S7, ,156.
